Small changes this week that have made a big difference on the job site. We now have stairs on all levels so no more climbing ladders. Which means I was able to get an incredible view via the Hippodrome roof

Taylor Mansion has balusters and a balcony. Patrons will be able to enjoy sitting on both the first and second level patios.

Nice, large stairs leading from the 2nd floor of the Taylor Mansion to the bar and stage

This week was our deadline to have finishes, furniture, & lighting nailed down. It took months of research, pricing, and even a few out of town "research" trips to figure out the look of each room. We are very happy with the results and can't wait to show some sneak peeks in the upcoming months.﻿

Drywall will be the next big thing to happen, which is very exciting to me because the rooms will take shape and a true visualization will start to form. We are also beginning to work on the web site for both the Taylor Mansion and The Hippodrome Theatre. Stay tuned!
